  abstract =     "An early effort by IBM to use system integration
                 services to assist in solving complex problems for
                 commercial customers involved developing an image
                 system for USAA, a large financial services
                 association. USAA had well-defined and stringent
                 requirements for a policy services application that
                 required enhancements to existing products to provide
                 the necessary function and performance. Key problems
                 solved included managing a storage hierarchy to handle
                 image size objects, the use of optical storage as a
                 low-cost storage medium, and the capability to compress
                 and decompress images rapidly at a workstation to allow
                 high-speed paging through documents. Additionally, the
                 registering and indexing of documents and management of
                 work flow and recovery issues were undertaken. The
                 effort was a good example of the new role of
                 application solution development in that the solution
                 was developed in conjunction with a specific customer,
                 but has developed into a product. The particular
                 solution described in the paper became IBM's ImagePlus
                 MVS/ESA product. Although the specific technical issues
                 were different, the same methodology was used to
                 develop ImagePlus for the System/36 and Application
                 System/400.",
